Chapter 4 Outline
This chapter provides highlights and important facts for installing, administering, and maintaining the different
models of the Network Analysis Modules (the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series and Cisco 7600 series NAM-1,
NAM-2, and the Cisco Branch Routers Series NM-NAM). This chapter also provides some quick command
line tips for troubleshooting.
The information provided in this chapter is intended to give you an overview of the installation, maintenance,
and troubleshooting of the NAM hardware to help in deployment planning. The reader should refer to the
appropriate installation guide and release notes for exact details. Additional troubleshooting tips can also be
found in the NAM User Guide.
The Administration section of this chapter, which covers installation and initial configuration, is actually
presented as two parts – one for NAM-1, NAM-2 and one for the NM-NAM.
A Cisco.com link to the installation and user guides can be found in Chapter 5 of this tutorial.
